Following last week’s announcement of Relic becoming an independent studio, today we have some difficult news. Earlier today we shared details with Relicans about a layoff. Letting people go was not an easy decision, and was made solely with the goal of providing Relic the best possible chance to survive in an increasingly volatile industry. It does not in any way reflect the expertise, passion, or character of any of the impacted employees. We are working closely with those affected providing severance packages, extended benefits, and outplacement support options. To those we are saying goodbye to, we are deeply sorry that it has come to this. We thank you for everything you have done for our studio and our projects, and we wish you all the best.
It takes alot, and sometimes it hurts alot, to produce something like the Homeworld saga. Unlike the Kushan, Taidanii, Vaygr and all their houses, we live in reality, and a professional will always not take things personally, regardless of the time-investment.
To all those departing relic, I wish you nothing but the best. In my short time in the industry I've gotten to know some of you, and know the talent and passion each and every one of you brings to the table. We'll get through this as an industry together.
Fico extremamente triste com essa notícia
No more pretending COH3 was good. Not enough diehard fans to keep the illusion alive. Also the marketing for the game was abysmal.
If you're looking to save money and key personel I suggest you start at the top and go down... The most useless and overpaid personel usually hides in those posts. In every company. 😉
Why lay off? Just remake Dawn of War 1 Soulstorm instead of lay off people. What a joke with layoff.
I'm so sorry to hear about the difficult choices you had to make off the back of announcement of becoming independent. I'm more then happy to support anyone if they wish to connect for a chat :)
